CHAPTER IX 



DOGGY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 

 REDBONE HOUNDS 



I would deem it a favour if you would give me 

 the name of a kennel owning a pack of ''Redbone" 

 hounds. 



Should be delighted to read any information 

 you may have relative to the work of these hounds 

 on deer in the mountains of California. I have 

 used these dogs on coon in the Southern States 

 and have seen so-called ''trailing hounds" work 

 on deer in this State. From my limited experi- 

 ence with them here it seems that time does not 

 enter into their calculations. 



A great many hunters here are shouting the 

 praises of the Airedale, naming his superior in- 

 telligence, his speed, running only warm trails, 

 etc., as being attributes not possessed by the 

 hound. My experience with them has been limited 

 and for which, so far, I am thankful. Personally, 

 I like the hound if he be well broken.
